(b) did not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and

(c) is not considered to have had knowledge under 35-10-310(5) or notice under 35-10-622.

(2) A dissociated partner is liable to the partnership for any loss caused to the partnership arising from an obligation incurred by the dissociated partner after dissociation and for which the partnership is liable under subsection (1).
